btrfs: Use trace condition for get_extent tracepoint
Doing an if statement to test some condition to know if we should
trigger a tracepoint is pointless when tracing is disabled. This just
adds overhead and wastes a branch prediction. This is why the
TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() was created. It places the check inside the jump
label so that the branch does not happen unless tracing is enabled.

That is, instead of doing:

	if (em)
		trace_btrfs_get_extent(root, em);

Which is basically this:

	if (em)
		if (static_key(trace_btrfs_get_extent)) {

Using a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() we can just do:

	trace_btrfs_get_extent(root, em);

And the condition trace event will do:

	if (static_key(trace_btrfs_get_extent)) {
		if (em) {
			...

The static key is a non conditional jump (or nop) that is faster than
having to check if em is NULL or not.
